How much interest does Ms. Paris earn on an $1800 loan for 6 months with a simple interest rate of 8.5%?

Mathematics

Answer:

$1136.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x where a is the initial value, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of time intervals.

We know that Mr. Paris starts with an $1800 initial value, so we can substitute that into the equation:

f(x)=1800(1 + r)^x

We also know the time intervals is 6 months. So that can be substituted as well:

f(x)=1800(1 + r)^6

They told you that the growth rate is 8.5%, which is 0.085 of 1.

f(x)=1800(1 + 0.085)^6

Add the 2 values in the parentheses and you get 1.085

f(x)=1800(1.085)^6

Now solve.

Order of operations requires you to raise 1.085 to the 6th power before multiplying by 1800. So then you have this:

1800(1.63146751) = 2936.64152. That rounds to 2936.60

So $2936.60 is the total amount of money in the bank account, but were looking for the interest earned, which is the difference between the end value and the initial value.

$2936.60 - $1800 = $1136.60

A set of 9 numbers has a mean of 20. What additional number must be included in this set to create a new set with a mean that is
PIT_PIT [208]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

The average for a set of 9 elements will be

(A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) ÷ 9 = 20

Let's make (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) like S

<em>(I chose S to remember a sum)</em>

Let us think.....

S ÷ 9 = 20

S = 20 × 9

S = 180

So,  (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 180

According to the statement, we will include a number (element J) in the sum to obtain a mean of (20 - 4), that is:

<h3>(A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I + J) ÷ 10 = (20 - 4)</h3>

as seen above, (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 180, then

(180 + J) ÷ 10 = 16

(180 + J) = 160

J = 160 - 180

<h2>J = - 20</h2><h2 />

So, including the number - 20 <em>(minus 20)</em> in the original mean we will obtain a new mean whose result will be 16

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

x1=-4/5, x2=18/5 and x3=7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\3&1&2&4\\2&2&1&7\end{array}\right]

you can do linear combination between the rows:

2nd row=R2-3R1 and 3th row=R3-2R1

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\0&1&11&19\\0&2&7&17\end{array}\right]

3th row=(3R2-R3)/15

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\0&1&11&19\\0&0&1&\frac{7}{5} \end{array}\right]

1st row=R1+3R3 and R2-11R3

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-4/5 \\0&1&0&18/5 \\0&0&1&7/5\end{array}\right]

x1=-4/5, x2=18/5 and x3=7/5
